Hon. JOHN j. KNOX, former Comptroller
of the Currency and now president of ma
tional bank in New York, read paper at the
meeting of the American Bankers Association
in Pittsburg, in which he advocated refund
ing the government four percent bonds into
twoand- halls or twos. The four-per-
cents are payable nineteen and half years
from now, and command a round premium Of
twenty-five per cent Mr. Knox argued with
much force and apparent reason that the
project was entirely feasible, and would be
very advantageous to the government by
greatly reducing its interest account.

COUNSEL for the condemned Anarchists

Pryor and J. Randolph Tucker, will begin at
once the work of preparing the case for
presentation to the Supreme Court at
Washington. These papers will probably be
presented within week. Assuming that
writ of error and supersedeas will be
granted, it is said that the case may be
reached by the court within six months if
advanced upon the calendar, as is sometimes
done in important cases. If the usual course
of procedure is followed it will be two or
three years before it is reached. The

THE following we reprint from the Ander-
sos Democrat, edited by W. r. Myers, late
Democratic Secretary of State, as one of the
..humors of politics." Any comments upon
it would tend to destroy the richness of its
flavor; therefore we give it just as it ap-
peared:
..The city election passed off quietly in In
dianapolis on Tuesday last, resulting In the
election of the entire Republican ticket The
result is no surprise to those who are familiar
with Republican methods as practced by the
slick six of our capital city. The saloons and
gambling houses were running wide open
regardless of law. The keepers of gam bling
houses were enthusiastic supporters of Denny
and the gang. The metropolitan police were
utilized to drag in the voters, and
spent the day industrously peddling
Republican tickets. Under Democratic rule
the many good citizens took pride in calling
attention to the fact that the gambling bells
of indianapolis were closed. This highly
creditable state of affairs has passed away to
return no more until the Democratic party
shall gain the ascendency in Indianapolis pol
itics. The total vote of the city shows the
Republicans to be in a minority of $50. The
Prohibition vote dwindled down to SO. The
Independent Labor vote was ], 455-fve-sixths
of whom were from the Democratic ranks.
By lavish and shameless of money the
Republicans slipped into power by plurali-
ty. Boodlers and sharks will fatten the
tax payers of the city for the next two years. )"

swindles. Mr.. Willard is now in position to
break it up, root and branch, and his estab-
lished character for honesty and justice leads
to the belief that he will do it. Mr.. Willard,
who, by the way, is Indianapolis man and
war correspondent, has passed through the
singular experience of rising to great wealth
and power in the commercial world, then
meeting with misfortune and losing every
thing, and finally overcoming all obstacles
and recovering even more than his former
prestige and power. Through it all he has
maintained the highest character for integrity
and honor, and was able, on the strength of
his personal credit, to command unlimited
financial support abroad. Those who know
him best say also, that through all his varied
fortunes he has preserved his simplicity Of
character, and that he still holds among his
best friends those of his early newspaper days.

that the contract might be carried out. He

THE Louisville Courier Journal says: ga
manlier or a more modest gentleman than
Colonel Grant does not live, and no party cap
ital is to be made, nor ought to be made, by
subiecting him to misrepresentation" And
the New York World says: "Col. Fred Grant
has been subjected to undeserved criticism by
a stupidity or maliciousy incorrect report in a
morning paper of his brief speech at the recent
Chickering Hall meeting. Colonel Grant did
not say: Should be elected in November will
try and show that have inherited the ability
of my father, and be faithful to the trust
YOU repose in me- What he did say, as re-
ported in the World and most Of the other
papers, was, that IF elected 1 will try to show
that have Inherited at least the ability to be
faithful to the trust imposed upon me- This
was an entirely modest and natural remark,
and called for no invidious comparisons"
The course of the infamous Democratic party
press will cause the election of Colonel Grant
by many thousands of votes.
